1: What is in your cd player right now? Well in the car, I have a compilation of my favorite songs that I down loaded. In the house its a 6 disk changer with: 2 Dianna Krall cd's, Dean Martin, Michael Buble', OAR, and Zepplin. 2: Best feature on your "new" sexy body? Come on folks.....time to brag on yourself!! Easy.......collar bones! 3: What was your biggest food weakness pre-op? Cheese-itz and Dr. Pepper! I still fight both of them off! 4: How many pounds away from goal are you? 26 5: Do you have any fears about reaching goal? Keeping the weight off? Hell yeah! I want this to be OVER already! Enough with the calorie counting and the insane amount of exercise!! If I had lost this weight "on my own" (no surgery), I would have fallen off the proverbial wagon months ago and would be on my way to regaining as we speak! 6: Were you a "cool" kid in High School or a geek? Somewhere in the middle. Most of my friends were popular, but I was friends with everyone....geeks included. I never cared about "status". I WAS kind of a brat though. We actually had money in an area that wasn't too afluent......so I had a really cool truck that my parents bought me when I turned 16 among other "toys". I was the baby in the family and was totally spoiled. I got everything I wanted and sometimes would rub my friends noses in it. I cringe when I think about it. I'm no longer like that! 7: Are you wearing sexy underwear today, or the ol' stand by's? Oh crap! I'm outing myself here....nothing too sexy today! Noone around today to show off for! 8: What is something really interesting that we would never guess about you? At this point, I think you guys know EVERYTHING about me! Lets see.....My mom was just certain that I was going to be a boy (back in the day when they couldn't tell). I guess I just "felt" like a "Brandon" to her. Well, SURPRISE!!! I went without a name for a few weeks because they hadn't even CONSIDERED that I could be a girl! How lame is that? I came out as a red head and I was hot pink! They finally named me after three weeks! It's Channan with a "C" because all of the other members of my family have "C" names and they didn't want to break the trend. 9: What is the hardest wls "rule" to comply to? I STILL have a hard time seperating my food and liquids. I just have to have a drink with my meals. I'd rather not eat if I had to seperate them! Know me better now? C

1: What is in your cd player right now? The latest Black Eyed Pea cd...I'm going to their concert Sunday evening. 2: Best feature on your "new" sexy body? Come on folks.....time to brag on yourself!! My you know what appears bigger 3: What was your biggest food weakness pre-op? pasta pasta pasta 4: How many pounds away from goal are you? Made original goal now working towards new goal nurse gave me. 5: Do you have any fears about reaching goal? Keeping the weight off? Not significantly...too many other "fears" 6: Were you a "cool" kid in High School or a geek? In between...I earned my varsity letter in 8th grade as a swimmer but also was in theater, yearbook staff and played with computer (which in the early 80's was really geeky) 7: Are you wearing sexy underwear today, or the ol' stand by's? Same old same old...although they are a fairly new pair since I have had to buy new one's lately since old ones don't fit anymore. But I'm still a brief guy. 8: What is something really interesting that we would never guess about you? No one thing really other than I've experienced many divergent things in life. I was a theater major in college, who went into restaurant management, owned my own restuarant at one point only to end up teaching technology to middle schoolers. You never know where life will take you! 9: What is the hardest wls "rule" to comply to? For me it is getting the excersise!!!! and taking smaller bites. I tend to still take normal bites and pocket part of the bite in my cheek while I chew so I don't swallow all at once. Thanks for posting this C, I was in the mood for one of these! Pete

Have a great time at the BLack Eye'd Peas concert. They were just here about a month ago. That's actually a concert that hubby and I could have gone to together. We don't agree on music very often!!! Oh wee, not everyone can have great taste (like moi-JK!). I have heard that you boys get "bigger". There is actually a formula.....1/2 inch of usable length for every 35 lbs lost. You do the math!! Obviously it maxes out or some of the men on the men's board would be packin' a foot long. It's a nice tidbit of information to have though if you are encouraging a man in your life to have surgery. I love the pasta too and I'm a fantastic Italian food cook. I have stopped making most of it because it's just the same without all of the butter, cream and cheese! Have a great day off from your life. Re-group, relax and focus on the positives! See ya soon, C
